Southampton boss Hasenhuttl: Leicester? Every week is important

Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl has urged calm after their hammering at Liverpool.

Saints next go to Leicester City in midweek.

"Every week is important," said Hasenhuttl.

"After the last two games that we didn't take points against Liverpool and Norwich, it will be good if we can fightback to the way we played before and to get some points.

"A very intense time is coming up now, with a lot of games coming up and not a lot of time to train and prepare for the games.

"It will be important to find your rhythm quickly now and this is what we need to do."

On the 4-0 defeat at Anfield, the Austrian continued: "It was by far not that bad.

"Even in the first half, and definitely to come back in the game but yes, we have struggled to score there against such a team and it's not possible to come back when you don't score - for sure when you don't score!

"You make it easy for them but in the second half we defended better and taking the pressure off us, that was a little bit better. But overall, not good enough to take something."
